The Impact of Child Support System on Early Childhood Education

Chapter One:

INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background of the study

The child support system is essential in supporting the health and happiness of children, especially in the setting of preschool and kindergarten. The purpose of this literature review is to investigate how the child support system affects preschool and kindergarten education, and to highlight the system’s role in fostering productive educational results for young children. The effects of the child assistance system on preschool and kindergarten may be better understood by reviewing the literature (Idowu, 2013).

The provision of financial assistance to custodial parents is a major part of the child support system. Research has revealed that appropriate financial resources favourably affect a child’s access to effective early childhood education. Children from low-income households are more likely to participate in high-quality preschool programmes, which has been related to better cognitive and social-emotional development, according to a number of studies. Therefore, the child assistance system is crucial in ensuring all children have access to a high-quality preschool programme.

Another key aspect impacted by the child support system is parental engagement in early childhood education. There is evidence to show that parents who get child assistance are more involved in their children’s schooling. Parental engagement may take many forms, including but not limited to attending parent-teacher conferences, being involved in extracurricular activities, and giving access to educational materials at home. Better academic achievement and general school preparedness in early children have been linked to such parental involvement.

The child support system helps kids in many ways than only monetarily. it also helps them out mentally and emotionally. The stress and anxiety levels of children are shown to decrease when they get regular financial help from their noncustodial parents. This has a beneficial effect on their attention span and motivation to learn at a young age. The child assistance system facilitates intellectual and emotional development by reducing parental financial stress (Maris, 2017).

The effects of child assistance on a kid’s future academic success have been the subject of several research. The data suggests that youth who get stable financial assistance are more likely to complete high school and continue their education. They also have a lower dropout rate and greater levels of educational achievement. These long-term benefits show how much the child assistance system influences and shapes kids’ early schooling, which in turn affects their academic success in later years. The child assistance system has been shown to have a favourable impact on preschool and kindergarten learning, but it is not without its share of difficulties. Concerns include meeting the needs of noncustodial parents, maintaining an equal division of resources, and enforcing child support obligations. Finding solutions to these problems and expanding the positive effects of the child assistance system on preschool education are important areas for future study.
